Asking about yourself/your nation in threads where questions are needed. I have seen a few in "Answer Above Leader's Question" and I feel like it is a little jarring to see some people use it as a platform to get extra opinions. There are reasons Q&A exists...

And then on those Q&A, people will go there to ask "What is your opinion on me lololol", but at least the difference is that on there, you can opt to not answer.

That's right fools, all this time you thought you were making high quality and nice looking formatted factbooks, but they were really just walls of text with dumb boxes containing made up code in them.

You have all fallen for the greatest facade in history, and now you shall suffer for it.

At first, I was going to put the color on the text bubble, but eh, works better on a name.

Also now there is a trope/cliche of sort. I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I tend to repeat a lot when I write a RP, or a Factbook entry.

"Clarissa sat down for lunch with Gwen, during lunchtime, whereby they ordered lunch." Yeah, nice writing there, Val.

And for my next dispatch about Alastair, I'm gonna...dramatically describe how much Alastair has deteriorated.

Again.

I try to catch those, but I've still had quite a few slip through the cracks.

Wish the mods would ban that shit tbh. It's one thing to use colored text for effect in a post but another thing to make all your goddamn posts fucking puce or something.

I wouldn't really count on it... not yet, at least. I have seen the royalty with a lot of pre-titles, but none as long as the Valentians with actual names instead of 20+ pre-titles.

So this is something that is just a me-thing... for now. I hope I keep it that way! ^^ ~~I got rooted out so many times that it's my puppet nations thanks to the character names.~~

But you're from New Zealand. You should already know your life is a lie by now. Actually come to think of it can people who don't exist have thoughts about their lives in a country that is also not real? Someone help me with this I'm not exactly sure.

At least the capitalist part is the opposite of a cliche- there's more than enough apologists on NSG and F7

Can you answer those threads with "My Lawyer advised me to not to answer any questions, may I please return to my cell?" and it would be courteous?
Can you alternatively answer with "Am I being pressed charges/under arrest, if not may I be let go of questioning?"?
Would that be a NS cliche?
I do know one thing that is a NS cliche, government agents, both foreign and domestic.

Think of it. The Australia not being real thing was a cover-up for the real non-existent country. New. Fucking. Zealand. Remember how many maps there are with no New Zealand on them? Exactly, there's a lot of them, which proves that New Zealand is only added by professional cartographers who play into the great conspiracy that is New Zealand.

New Zealand isn't real. You'll all see.

I mean, those questions are not interrogation, but rather "getting to know you". I don't know any context where that would be appropriate.

^ This.

If you don't want to answer a question, don't answer the question. It's not required for a reason, it's just that people like talking about their nations, especially to other people, and if you don't like to do that, that's fine too.

I thought it would be funny as a role play. As if you were held against your will and had to type into this forum.

The thing is that, imagine, if everyone does that and in the end everyone is just using question-related threads to get extra opinions for themselves rather than helping one another with character-making or worldbuilding like they are usually intended to. It will not be illegal, but it will be annoying like your neighbor parking his car in front of your house. This applies especially in F7 threads where threads may get autoprunned if no one wants to answer a certain thing.

~~My solution for this is more opinion threads lololololololol~~

by **The Saucer Pilots** » Mon Apr 05, 2021 7:19 pm

People asking about themselves and telling me to give out opinions have only happened twice or thrice to me, fortunately, in the "Ask AU a question" thread. I think it's a little fun when they specifically ask what somebody from my IC world would think about their nation or how a character of theirs would fare in my Canon.

Oh, I've also been asked over how many drugs I've tried in the "Random Questions" thread once, as well as being asked whether I had a crush on another user on this site.
...
Tbh, I actually was kinda tempted to answer the first one.

by **Zitravgrad** » Mon Apr 05, 2021 7:21 pm

Sometimes I wonder what drugs some worldbuilding geniuses here took to write what they write... so yes.

Tell us.

And real natbollibsocdemoanarchofascism hasn't been tried yet.

In other words, it's one thing to have a certain ideology and seek to address problems you see in the world, but another to attack people who don't fit it because of [X] while doing so.

oh hell no.

This is a strawman. Anti-racists, anti-fascists, and feminists do not victimize straight white men, despite what racists, fascists, and chauvinists would want you to believe.

Don't fall for that nonsense. This isn't an NS cliche or very much of a real life one. Besides that, the CIA has done a lot of horrible shit.
